The Power of Nature/(live bald eagle webcam)
This week I saw a short news clip of a Louisiana Congressman who broke down crying as he spoke of the wetlands in the Gulf possibly being destroyed by the oil spill.Why? Because he grew up with Nature there; it is his home. The birds, plants, air, and water—all of the moments of peace he experienced his heart,
mind and body remembers.
Whether he articulates it as a connection with Spirit, with the Infinite Source, or not,
that is what he is grieving.
I don't want to focus on loss here, but my point is that our connection to
Nature is essential to our lives. It is essential for our understanding
of who we are and why we are here. ("Know Thyself")
When you take time to BE with nature, not to photograph it or comment upon it,
but to connect to the state of Being that nature provides for you, your body, mind
and spirit will align with the greater spirit that nature reflects.
What's the purpose of this? Well, all that you are hoping to be, do or have in your
life will come about through your conscious awareness of who you really are, which
is a spiritual being having a human experience. Nature reminds you of this when
you allow her to. You must open up to it though.
You must take the time to just BE.
I'm enclosing a link to a Bald Eagle nest in
Decorah, Iowa. The camera is on the nest 23/7. You can
watch the baby eagles (there are 3 of them!) and sometimes
the mother is there. If you just watch and open your heart to
their state of being, how the wind gently blows there feathers, how
they move about the next, how they stare out at 'nothing' in particular,
you can align with their being and thus your own, for we are all
part of the same web of life.
Happy Memorial Day! My wish for you is that you feel the
Love in your heart as you love the eagles and allow them to
love you~

Love & light,

I love putting these two words together because I don’t think they are often associated. In reality, you can’t have one without the other.
